Song Lyrics

Midnight Wanderer by the Silent Sundays

(Line Number)
Gets out of bed and looks at the clock (1)
sees the time
is the tick and the tock
he was just in time
set off walking before the chime

That lonely midnight wanderer (6)
sets off walking in search for an answer
he lost everything from home to business
that lonely midnight wanderer

He used to lead a perfect life (10)
 nice house, great kids
but a bitch for a wife
she left him for an italian fling
left him on the streets without a thing

That lonely midnight wanderer (15)
sets off walking in search for an answer
he lost everything from home to business
that lonely midnight wanderer
 (x2)

Annotation
(1)Tired, Unorganised
(2)He is checking the time, May be in a rush
(3) He may be confused, Lacks motivation
(4)Relief as he woke up in time
(5)Going somewhere, just in time

(6)No direction, confused
(7)Needs to know why this has happened to him
(8) Lost everything, unfair
(9)again shows confusion and lack of direction and motivation

(10)Sympathy, Reminising the past
(11)thinking about positive aspects of the past
(12)thinking about the negative aspects, pessimistic
(13)his wife cheated in him, unfaithful feels she ruined his life
(14)he was punished for this as he has nothing left
